With a focus on moral and ethical well-being, school chaplaincy has proven to dissipate tension and improve the mental health of students. The NSCA is now looking for individuals in Angleton, with high ethical standards, who can provide emotional support, guidance, and compassion to students from pre-K to 12th grade.

The program equips participants with the skills needed to create happier, safer learning environments for students in their care. With training in moral and ethical guidance, school chaplains can offer non-judgemental outlets for students who need someone to turn to.

A spokesperson for the NSCA states: "Conversations with chaplains are private, therefore students are more straightforward and sincere, not having to worry about what goes on their transcript. If something raises a flag, certified chaplains know the proper procedure to advise authorities."

The NSCA highlights the difference between a school chaplain and a therapist, explaining that chaplains may be able to support students with a spiritual or mental crisis more holistically than medical professionals. "Even in an increasingly secular society, faith in chaplains and their ability to help with personal problems remains strong," says the NSCA.

School chaplains are often considered 'non-threatening' members of staff, whom students can go to develop their own moral and ethical thinking. Students are given the opportunity to explore who they really are without fear of judgment or discrimination. Recognizing that many young people may be struggling with gender confusion, lack of purpose, and hopelessness, a certified chaplain can help to develop student's resilience in an increasingly challenging world, the NSCA adds.

Angleton residents can enroll online at any time of the year, with a choice of flexible payment methods. The fully accredited school chaplaincy course runs for 8 weeks and is comprised of three safety certifications: active shooter, threat assessment, and stop the bleed.
